Site of Shooting and Louis Schwartz' Saloon
According to most of the witnesses who testified at the Harvey Callahan murder trial in January 1915, the shooting of Thomas Gibbons took place near Beekes & Zimmer confectionary store at 7503 Detroit Avenue. While the building that housed that retail shop no longer exists, the building immediately to the west still does. That building, which housed Louis Schwartz' saloon, was where two car loads of "toughs," allegedly assembled by William "Scance" Chambers and another Plain Dealer distributor, drank, while waiting for the Leader Delivery truck holding Harvey Callahan and Frank O'Neill to arrive. | Creator: Google Maps
